Kevin Costner appears to be carrying more than emotional baggage these days following a tumultuous period marked by a messy divorce and his dramatic exit from Yellowstone, new Daily Mail photos show.

Sources recently revealed that the 70-year-old actor and filmmaker has been leaning on his first ex-wife Cindy Silva, 68, amid his split from Christine Baumgartner and his hit TV series.

It seems like he’s also leaning on comfort food.

Costner was spotted cutting a noticeably portlier figure on Tuesday afternoon during a trip to upscale supermarket Erewhon in Calabasas, California, with his longtime female assistant.

Though the grocery store is a good 60 miles away from his massive $145 million beachside compound in Santa Barbara County, Costner still makes regular trips to Los Angeles for meetings or work.

Dressed in an ivory knit polo shirt, khaki pants and a black varsity jacket, the former Yellowstone star was sporting a heavier appearance as he left the store with his lunch in hand.

Costner appeared in relatively good spirits nonetheless, but seemed eager to keep a low profile and get to his lunch as he exited the store and headed to his SUV with his smiling assistant. 

He was then seen chowing down on the Erewhon delicacies in the parking lot.

The Hollywood star’s change in physique comes over a year after the Daily Mail reported that Costner had dropped almost 15 pounds in the wake of his high-profile split from Baumgartner and was seen getting his clothes altered at a Montecito tailor in August 2023.

At the time, the couple’s divorce was still fresh, and Costner was reeling from the news that Baumgartner, 51, was already dating financier Josh Connor, 49.

Former handbag designer Baumgartner and Costner have three children together –  Cayden, 17, Hayes, 16, and Grace, 14 – and were married for 20 years from 2004 until finalizing their divorce in February last year.

Montecito locals know that Baumgartner and Connor met each other while their children were attending the same private school, where Connor also served as a board member and trustee.

In January, Costner was hit with the news that the new couple are now engaged to be married, with the Daily Mail reporting the details of the stunning five-carat diamond ring Baumgartner has been flashing around town.

Despite Costner recently being linked to singer Jewel, 50, whom he says is just a friend, he seems to be living the bachelor life.

He was married to first wife Silva for 16 years, and, last month, sources told the Daily Mail he’s recently been leaning on her for support.  

‘Kevin and Cindy have stayed close friends, and she has been guiding him in recent months over his heartbreak from Christine as she is a wise woman,’ the insider said. 

‘He really appreciates that their sad split has led to such a beautiful friendship. She is an ally and offers great advice. He leans on her quite often.’

It also helps that they have three children together – Annie, 40, Lily, 38, and Joe, 37 -who are said to be the ‘glue’ of their platonic relationship.

Costner also has a seventh child – a son named Liam, 28, with former girlfriend Bridget Rooney.

‘Often [Costner and Silva] get together for the kids’ birthdays and are able to spend quality time together,’ the insider said. ‘It’s all very amicable and friendly.’ 

Several years ago, Costner expressed he ‘still has love for Cindy,’ calling her a ‘real lady.’ 

The couple met while they were both students at California State University, Fullerton in 1975. They wed in 1978 and Silva filed for divorce in November 1994.
